Tie question has been raised
among our citizens rs to when Com
,uissioner-elcc, Fosdick will tske his
seat, some claiming that the appoint
ment by the Governor covered the
time until January 10th, the regular
day for newly elected officers to be
installed and others claiming that
he was elected to fill a vacancy and
is entitled to take his seat at once.
We are inclined TO agree with the
latter, az the term of the Office un-
doubtsdly commenced January 10th,
1887, and the Governor could only
appoint until the election, the elect
ed candidate continuing the term
from the time the canvassinS board

General Western Passenger Agent

The socalled Know.nothlng spirit seems
to be displaying itself all over the civilized
world. A few years ago wide aeceptancy
was given TO the theory that all men were
brothers, and that barriers between nations
ought to be thrown down, as far as posi-
BILE; but the opinion tAat Is gaining force
at the present time seems to be that the
people of each country should be the ex-
elusive posessors of Its advantages. The
crys Is: America for the Americans, Ire.
land for the Irish, Russia for the Russians,
France for the French, and 30 on. This
theory of nationalism has already taken
form In legislation In Russia, Germany,
Austria, and, 80 far rs the Chinese are con-
cerned, the United States. That there will
be still further developments of the same
theory In the near. future Is highly prob
able. The intensity Of feeling that has

On this subject Messrs. Nicolay and Hay
Gays, In the September Century: "The
credit Of the nomination is claimed BY
many men, and by several delegations, but
every such claim is wholly fictitious. Lin.
coin was chosen not by personal intrigue,
but through political necessary. The Re.
publican party was Z purely defensive

CRISIS which the new party was compelled
to overcome. The sscendency OF the free

immediate alternative before the free

therefore simple problem: What candi
date could carry these Statese None could
answer this question SO we'll as their own
delegates, and these, when Intercepted.
still further reduced the problem BY the
reply that whoever else could, Seward Ger.
tainly could not. These four States lay on
the border land next to tho South nnd to
slavery. Institutions inevitably mold pub.
lie sentiment; and . certain tenderness
toward the properly Of neighbors and
friends infected their people. They shrunk
from the reproach Of being 'abOlitiunized.'
They would vote for conservative Repub-
lican; but Seward and radicalism and
higher law would bring them inevitable
defeat
who, then, could carry these doubtful
and pivotal States? This second branch Of
the question also found Its ready answer.
The contest IN these States would not be
against Territorial slave code, but against
popular sovereignty; not with Buchanan's
candidates, but with Douglas; and for
Douglas there was only a singal antagonist,
tried and true-Abraham Lincoln. Such,
we may reasonably infer, was the substance
